HAT do you think the jury

will give him? Give who? Oh! well, if you haven't

heard about Mr. Griffin, of Washington, and his damage suit against an actress who kissed him, then here are tho facts. No, no, the actress isn't suing Mr. Griffin we haven't got it twisted; this is something new in damage suits defenseless man attacked riht in the orchestra of a theatre by a little girl and robbed of a kiss. This damape suit has been brought in Washington within the last few days by a MAN who, without his conse.il or approval, was bereft of a kiss by a young woman with whom lie was unacquainted thereby, as ho says, being "subjected to ridicule before tho community." Ordinarily when a young man la kissed he views the occurrence at least with philosophy. Such things will happen. Hut in this instance It was different. The victim, as he eonpiders himself, declares that the kiss 'caused him great pain and anguish." Mark that! Mere pain did not express the idea; it caused him angui.ih to bo kissed in thi3 ruthless and unexpected way by a female person who. though physically of undeniable attractions, was a total stranger to him. Shall there be no defense for the unprotected male? indeed, yes. At all events, if noc, Mr. C. Mason Griffin, of Washington, D. C., proposed to know why and wherefore not. It Is to settle just this question thathe has brought suit in the courts. The tragic incident surely that is r.ot too strong a word occurred at ihe Casino Theatre in Washington. 3'he playhouse in question is a home ?f high-class vaudeville. There rould be no more absurd mistake than to suppose that the management had in contemplation any such outrage as that to which Mr. Griffin

was subjected. Nevertheless, the management was technically responsible or, at all events, Mr. Griffin's lawyers do so consider. Mr. Griffin is a young man, about twenty-eight years of age. He is rather over the average height, clean shaved, decidedly good looking, rather plump, without being in the least fat. His skin is clear and pink, his eyes aro bright and blue. Any girl of taste would say that he was decidedly a kissable person. But Mr. Griffin, technically speaking, is not kissable at all with propriety, because he is married. His wife was with him on the unfortunate occasion here considered. Tho date was February 1, the day of tho week 'Monday. Nothing could havo been further from the mind of Mr. Griffin on the afternoon of that day than kissing. His morning had been devoted to his business. Fate! Alas for the mystery of its workings. Mrs. Griffin, wholly without imagining what was destined soon to happen, suggested vaudeville as an afternoon's entertainment. Why not tho Casino Theatre? Why not, indeed? Was there any possible reason to believe that unsolicited osculations wero awaiting tho innocent Mr. Griffin in this highly respectable playhouse? So far was this from being the caso that Mrs. Griffin bought the tickets herself. She paid fifty cents for two. Mr. Griffin quite naturally gave his wife the seat beyond, taking for himself the ono on the aisle. He could not have Buspected what was going to happen how so, Indeed, when Mrs. Griffin herself did not 6uspect it? Not until he glanced at his printed programme handed him by an usher was he even aware that the "RcsebucV were taking part in (he performance. He then learned for tho first time

that an Important place on tho programme was occupied by a delightful, and fortuitous aggregation of youth and beauty calling itself the Southern Rosebuds Company. It was promised that the "Rosebuds" would present a musical comedy entitled "The Honoyboy." "Tho Honeyboy" was represented as something rather extraordinary in the way of musical comedies. Such representation may have been strictly true. Hut on this occasion "The Honeyboy" was on trial at the Casino Theatre in Washington. If it did not "make good" at the fli ft performance the contract for its further production was abrogated. Mr. Griffin was wholly Ignorant of this situation. He was unaware that the blithe maidens in tho cast of "The Honeyboy" might lose, their Jobs and their subsistence unless they succeeded in making the farcecomedy attractive. Nothing could have been farther from his notion than that the kissing: in the aisle was a means of professional success and revenue. "Do you realize what that big boob came near dour to us?" afterward inquired one of the young lady kissers of the "Honeyboy" company. "He 'most cost U3 our jobs!" And so. Indeed, It nearly happened. Not, be it understood, because Mr. Griffin was offended at being kissed, against his will, but for the reason that the "kick" he made thereupon had the effect of "queering" the Rosebuds with the management of the Casino Theatre. "It was a mighty close call," said Miss Grace Norman. Why, it may be asked, should the name of this young lady be so conspicuously mentioned? The answer is easy. She is tho one who succeeded in kissing Mr. Griffin. Yes, it was "Babe" Norman who broke through Mr. Griffin's line of defense and planted that awful kiss

equarely on his forehead. Miss Norman is called "Babe" because sho has just passed the age limit for a child actress. Y011 see, it was like this: Four""very attractive girls, who composed the chorus of the "Honeyboy." left the stage and danced, singing "Won't you kiss me?" down the aisles of the Casino Theatre. It happened quite naturally that they alighted upon Mr. Griffin

not knowing, of course, that Mrs. Griffin was with him. The manager of the theatre was sitting in an aisle seat, taking notes, it was the toboggan for theirs. In other words, they would be cut out of subsequent performances. The "Rosebuds" did make good, as it would appear, all but the kissing part. This was a feature of which the manager of the theatre himself had not teen warned in advance. It had "gone" first rate in various small centres of population in which the company had previously exhibited. Hut what is a "go" in small towns may not necessarily be a success in a city like Washington, which possesses an element of population highly conservative. There were four of the girls all of them very young, not one of them ovr eighteen years of age. The youngest of them was Olive Norman a maidpn of sixteen, rather small in stature and of a child-like slenderness. As above stated, it was she who made the final, the de-

Mow to Tell Your Fortune by Your Moles

By Sothnos Latillier. The Distinguished French Astrologer. THKSK little marks on the skin that we call moles, although they appear to be the effect of chance or accident, are nevertheless of the utmost consequence as regards their Eize, color, figure, position, and so on. They ar really letters in the book of fate. In order to read them accurately it is necessary to know their sire, color, whether round or oblong, their appearance, and so on. The larger tho mole the greater is its significance; the smaller the mole the less effect does it have on good or evil fortune. If tbe mole is round it indicates good, if oblong a moderate share of fortunate events. If angular it gives a mixture of good and evil; the deeper the color the more it announces favor or disgrace, the lighter the less cf either. Th following table shows the meaning given by masters of the occult to the mole's location on various parts of tho body: Arm (right or left) When a mole appears on either arm it Is a sign of resolution, success and fidelity; you will probably be a widow or widower at forty, but your life villi, on the whole, be happy aud fortunate. Ankle This tells of love of dross, pleasures ia love, average success, courage and wit. Cultivation of will is indicated.

Back If just below either of the shoulder hlades it signifies that you will have misfortune and defeat in enterprises, but ultimate success through 6heer dogged perseverance. Stomach If on the stomach, this shows an indolent, pleasure-loving disposition, inclined to travel and of a mercurial temperament. You must be more industrious. Chest A mole here denotes an ardent nature, given to the pleasures of life; disliking work. In a woman. If cq the right, this denotes a happy marriage and several children; If on the left side, success and accumulation of riches. If low on the left, near tho heart, this denotes a woman cf sincerity, love and Industry. If low on the right, a life of varied fortunes sometimes good ad sometimes bad. Cheik A mole on either cheek denotes a benoolert, loving, happy disposition, fair success In life, but Inclined to be a spendthrift. Would have a strong love nature. Chin On this location the presence of a mole indicates an amiable and tranquil disposition, many friends, financial success and many affairs of the heart; also some troubles. Ear A mole on either ear is a good sign, denoting riches. Eye A mole n-; the eye or eyebrow Is a sign of many adventures, both plea&int and unpleasant, ultimately a happy marriage, after several mishaps, travel and worldly success. Lack of control of temper Is shown; this must be cultivated.

Foot If on the foot this denotes unhappiness and troubles of various kinds. Success will only come to you by your own efforts. Forehead A mole on the forehead denotes distinction In worldly matters honor and, later, richos will be yours. Hip If on either hip a mole denotes a contented, happy nature, Industrious, loving and kind. Such persons have strong natures. Knee A mole on the knee signifies extravagance, temper, riches, sorrow, passion, success. It is the sign of a strong and many-sided character, who will make his way in the world by sheer force of character. -Leg If on either leg a mole means much worry and difficulty In settling your life; help is needed. You have an ardent nature, which needs restraint. Cultivate more frankness. Neck If on the front of the neck riches and success, if on the back of the neck setbacks and troubles. Ultimate success will be yours, however. Side If on the side this denotes a naturally indolent, pleasure-loving nature, which must be made to work! You have great natural resources and ability, which only need training to insure worldly success. You will be fortunate in lore. Wrlrt A mole here denotes an Industrious, successful life. Love, crowned with suocess. and good success after middle life. Ton will nrobably he married thrice.

termlned and the successful attempt to kiss Mr. Griffin. it is no trifle to be assailed by four able-bodied young women "with intent to kiss." The first two of the biyich certainly failed. But. satisfied with hi3 success in repelling the assault on his first line of trenches. Mr. Griffin must have failed to realize that reinforcements were coming up. The censequence was that "Babe" got him. One should realize the situation. "Won't you kiss me?" sang the four girls. Some of the married men present seemed doubtful. Not so the unmarried men. Quite a number of the latter made as if to invite the proffered osculations. Some of them got them. Possibly if Mrs. Griffin had not been prese.it nothing further might have beer, said about the matter. But her objections were strong, not to say violent. Hence the suit for $1,500 damage which has been brought by Mr. Griffin against the Southern States Producing Company (responsible for the "Rosebuds") and the manager of the Casino Theatre in Washington, whose name is Alan J. Bachrach. The papers In the suit allege that certain ladles, whose names are uuknown, on the occasion mentioned, left, the stage, and that all of tnem "did assault the plaintiff with Intent to kiss." That the assault was continued, and that finally one of the ladies did kiss the plaintiff on the cheek against his will. It is distinctly stated that the plaintiff did nothing to encourage the afault. which caused him "great anguish;" and "by reason of said" wrongs and injuries he is damaged in the sum o. faLSOO." It is further alleged that .

the injuries thus inflicted were attributed to the "negligence" of the manager of the theatre and his employes. That daring young soubrette. Mis3 "Babe" Norman, with the modesty and shrinking reserve characteristic of her profession, has this to say in regard to the distressing affair: "Yep! I landed that smack on the dear man. If he had been flying a married man's flag I wouldn't bavt torpedoed his lily white brow. "It's Miss Edna Elliott, our big prima donna, that always leads our flying charge down from the footlights. Marie Gale holds the right flank and Dot Dillon 13 on the left Hank. I'm the smallest and youngest girl in the show, and I'm the rear guard. "When we left the stage and started to work through the audience, Edna, our prims donna, made some quick moves on men here and there who looked as If they were all ready to surrender. All of a sudden Edna made a charge on Mr. Griffin a real nice, rosy-cheeted boy of about twenty-eight. I should guess. He didn't have any signs of any artillery mounted nor any trenchf-s dug around him. But he euddenly threw up his right arm and Edna made a side march across the aisle. She signalled an 'S O S and Marie Gale moved up to the firing line, while Dot Dillon made a strategic move to wedge in on his flank. "While all hands were buiy, I submarined down under th mix-up. and, coming to tbe surface, managed to get in a seventy-flve-mlllimetre kiss right above his periscope. Then Mr. Bachrach, manager of the theatre, sounded a retreat, and thn it was all over except Mr. Griffin's lawsuit and thin dreadful newspaper
